Treatment of hair loss
Effective treatment of hair loss requires to determine the cause.
• The telogen effluvium may indicate support of deficiency (iron, vitamin B12)
or a thyroid problem, but they often heal without treatment after 3-4 months
(after pregnancy, fever, surgery ...). The telogen effluvium induced by drug intake
(isotretinoin, cholesterol, anticoagulant ...) require whenever possible replacement
therapy with another molecule.

Low Testosterone Levels? Avoid These 5 Deadly Mistakes!
By Kathy J. Myers
Being a natural athlete I've always sought to find more ways to increase testosterone levels naturally. The question I've always asked myself was what are the variables, which determine how much testosterone is bioavailable.I've read articles before, giving some advice on what in my every day life causes my test levels to go up and what causes them to go down. But after an extensive research I couldn't find an article, explaining in detail how and actually what exactly I should manipulate directly in my system to achieve the effects I desired - namely not only higher levels of circulating testosterone but also how much of it will be available to the corresponding receptors in the cell walls. Moreover, I wanted to know all this in regards to natural bodybuilding.
The correlation between having a vasectomy and testosterone levels is somewhat in dispute. Although some facts about the relationship of having a vasectomy and testosterone production seem to be commonly accepted, other studies of vasectomy and testosterone levels have reached different conclusions.Research on the matter, however, generally agrees that if there is a correlation between vasectomy and testosterone levels it is probably not a negative one. That is, vasectomies do not cause the manufacture of testosterone to decrease.
The free androgen index (FAI) indicates the amount of bioavailable testosterone. FAI is the sum of the free testosterone and the albumin and cortisol binding globulin. Or it's the total serum testosterone minus the SHGB-bound testosterone.It is now clear why we should focus our attention on the properties of SHGB. The levels of this binding protein increase when there is excess estrogen present. Conversely, SHGB levels drop if the testosterone levels are elevated. Here I should mention the fact that SHGB exhibits higher affinity to testosterone than to estrogen. Now, pay close attention.It's a well-known fact that testosterone is an estrogen precursor - it will convert to estrogen under the influence of the enzyme aromatase. Nothing that we don't know so far. Here is where it gets interesting. Suppose that we have normal testosterone levels and we don't suffer from any of the health ailments, which influence the SHGB levels. That means that SHGB levels are normal, too.
For men who already have prostate cancer, increasing testosterone advances the condition. A higher incidence of men who have had vasectomies having prostate cancer indicates a higher relationship between those have had a vasectomy and testosterone production increase. In 1993 two large research projects concerning vasectomy and testosterone levels were conducted. In one, 10,000 men that had a vasectomy had 1.5 times the chance of getting prostate cancer. The other study of vasectomy and testosterone levels came to the same conclusion.But in June of 1999 a study of vasectomy and testosterone production showed there was no difference in the number of people who had had vasectomies when prostate cancer victims were surveyed.
Studies of heavy drinkers have shown that alcohol directly suppresses testosterone levels in men.And the more alcohol you drink, the worse it gets. Chronic Alcohol abuse is associated with altered levels of all male reproductive hormones, not just testosterone.Now, I'm not saying you need to quit entirely, you just need to drink smart.
When you exercise the right way, your body will reward you by releasing human growth hormone, and testosterone into your blood stream.What is the right way to exercise? Weight training that uses several large muscles at the same time. Think squats, lunges, and bench press.High intensity, short duration exercises such as sprints, jump squats,running stairs, and jump rope.The get this hormonal release you need to surpass the lactate threshold.You'll know when you've arrived when you feel that burn in your legs while churning out the last few rep of your routine.
Testosterone is a naturally occurring hormone in men as well as women, of course, women having lower levels in their body. The primary effects of the hormone in the body are anabolic, which is responsible for building bones from infancy through puberty and into early adulthood and androgen, which causes the growth of muscles and hair on the body. Although it is a natural part of the bodies system and ideally should regulate itself, there are times when Testosterone Supplements may be desired or even necessary for the body.
How do you know if you have elevated estrogen levels? Take a look at your body. Do you have fleshy hips and thighs, and a round soft belly? Are you developing gyno, or male breasts.If so, you need to reduce your estrogen levels.How do you do it? Reduce body fat,Reduce your chemical exposure.Gas fumes, diesel fuel, perfumes, dyes, paints, solvents, detergents all have chemicals that mimic estrogen in your body.
Cycling is the key word when taking any Testosterone Supplements. Simply put, it means that the supplements are taken for a certain length of time and then use is stopped for a predetermined amount of time as to give the body and system a rest. This is done for two very important reasons. The first and most important, is that with continuous use with no breaks in between, the body will become overloaded with testosterone, which can cause serious irreversible damage to the system. Second, after taking the supplements for an extended period of time with a cycle break, the body will essentially become immune to the extra testosterone and no longer produce the initial effects. What that means is bodybuilders will not see any further muscle increase and athletes in general, will not have the same extra strength and stamina they had in the beginning.
